Fav Picks | Wedding Resources

Many times choosing a theme for your wedding isn’t hard because of a lack of ideas but because of an abundance of them. You only get married once, and you want it to be a reflection of you and your fiance. If you’ve never done something like this before, planning a wedding can be overwhelming!

So not to throw gasoline on the fire but hopefully direct you to some helpful resources, here are a few wedding design blogs that I love! Browse, write down ideas, be inspired! Remember, these aren’t to pressure you to follow a trend or feel the need to keep up with the Joneses. I share them to inspire you to think outside the box, see what resonates deep inside, and create a day that truly reflects who you are!

Green Wedding Shoes
“head over heels in

 Ruffled
“A wedding blog for vintage, indie and DIY brides”

Featuring some of my favorite kind of brides, Ruffled blog is also a great resource for unique details as brides are able to resell leftovers from their wedding!

Every Last Detail
“insight for brides encompassing every last detail of planning a wedding”

Ever wonder really what are “details”? Every Last Detail has a great post detailing it out! ;-)

Details…
… are what make a wedding unique. They set your wedding apart from your best friend’s wedding- that is at the same exact venue because you both loved it so much.
… allow you and your fiance to tell your story and infuse your relationship and personalities into your wedding- the wedding that is the celebration of your love.
… are what decorate and accent a wedding. Flowers, candles, chargers, linens, etc- the pretty things. :)
… are a theme and a style of a wedding. Vintage, peacock, modern, beach- I don’t care what the theme or style is, but details always help to define it.
… are things that enable your to remember your wedding day. Guest books, fun prints to sign, a card catalog of guests, etc.
… keep guests informed. Yep, informed. Invitations, menus, table numbers, signs… because let’s face it, there is A LOT of information you have to share with guests for a wedding!
… are ways for guests (and you, duh) to have fun, enjoy themselves, and celebrate your marriage. Specialty drinks, games, photo booths, candy- they’re all details!

Southern Weddings
“the best in real Southern weddings and event details from around the country”

Southern Weddings–a wedding magazine that spills over onto blog goodness all year long. I don’t live in the south and don’t like grits at all, but there’s just something about these beautiful weddings that inspire me to create!

  1. Haha, Mom IS from the South, and she doesn’t like grits, either!

    Also, one of my friends’ companies is now a featured vendor on Green Wedding Shoes, the videographer/photographer/sound/design company FlyFeNniX. All Master’s grads, including Micah Brown. ;)
